“The era of globalised markets is also an era of globalised sovereignties. Nation states must constantly sync their policies with global constituencies of policies and citizens. At times, domestic disharmony is the price nation states may be required and willing to pay. The case in point here is the proposed review of the intellectual property rights (IPR) policy, particularly those clauses that are related to pharmaceutical patent policy. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion has constituted a think tank on IPR whose primary mandate is to evolve a roadmap for the country’s IPR policy and to better India’s purportedly “dismal” record in protecting pharmaceutical patents.”
